A Visual Approach to Library Data

Do others really know the Library’s activities or its value to your institution or community? A lot of good data already exists in your library that can be used to create attractive graphics that will inform others, and promote your library. We will discuss how to gather, combine and organize library data. We will also demonstrate various tools you can use (including free tools) to visualize the data. Lastly, we will show options of how to organize the visualizations into a report format, or to create a flyer or poster that can be used to show the library’s impact and value.
